5 Gallon Mead Kit

This mead produces a smooth, semi-dry honey wine with rich floral aromatics and a clean, balanced finish. The flavor is driven by the honey you select, ranging from light and citrusy to deep and complex.

Fermentation with D47 yeast supports a stable, efficient process, resulting in a well-structured mead with soft acidity and a rounded mouthfeel. The larger batch size allows for improved consistency and the option to age part of your batch for added complexity.
